TL;DR: This case report describes two sisters that experienced eruption failure in the permanent dentition, most notably of the first and second molars, with greater severity in the younger sister.
Abstract: Primary failure of eruption is a condition where there is eruption failure in the permanent dentition with no obvious mechanical cause. It has previously been reported in the literature as a cause of posterior openbite, with a varying degree of familial inheritance. This case report describes two sisters that experienced eruption failure in the permanent dentition, most notably of the first and second molars, with greater severity in the younger sister. Teeth were exposed in both patients and orthodontic traction was applied with little or no success. The report provides further evidence of the genetic contribution to the aetiology of this condition and also highlights the problems in attempting treatment, including exposing to the oral environment teeth that are infra-occluded and difficult to clean effectively.

TL;DR: The diagnosis of an incarcerated Littre hernia on computed tomogram has not been previously reported in the scientific literature.
Abstract: Meckel diverticulum is the commonest congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Any hernia containing the Meckel diverticulum is termed a Littre hernia. Littre hernias are commonest in the inguinal region and may cause bowel obstruction secondary to strangulation or incarceration of the diverticulum within the hernial sac. The diagnosis of an incarcerated Littre hernia on computed tomogram has not been previously reported in the scientific literature.

TL;DR: A systematic review and survey of experts from the United Kingdom and Ireland were performed to assess current knowledge and practice on echocardiographic screening for PH in ACHD, with particular focus on major subgroups: patients with right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, patients with systemic right ventricles, and patients with unrepaired univentricular circulation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that eosinophil growth factors are likely to be required for eos inophil migration within the bronchial mucosa, and this involves signal transduction pathways distinct from those used by G protein-associated chemoattractants.
Abstract: Asthma is a common disease that causes considerable morbidity. Increased numbers of airway eosinophils are a hallmark of asthma. Mechanisms controlling the entry of eosinophils into asthmatic lung have been intensively investigated, but factors regulating migration within the tissue microenvironment are less well understood. We modeled this by studying chemoattractant and growth factor-mediated human eosinophil migration within a three-dimensional collagen matrix. Stimulation with GM-CSF induced dose-dependent, random migration with a maximum of 77 +/- 4.7% of cells migrating. In contrast, CCL11 and C5a caused a more modest although significant degree of migration (19 +/- 1.8% and 20 +/- 2.6%, respectively). Migration to GM-CSF was partially dependent on Ca(2+) and alpha(M)beta(2) integrins. The Rho family of small GTPases regulates intracellular signaling of cell migration. GM-CSF-induced migration was only partially dependent on Rho kinase/Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) and was independent of RhoA activation. In contrast, CCL11-induced migration was fully dependent on both RhoA and ROCK. Activation of RhoA was therefore neither necessary nor sufficient to cause eosinophil migration in a three-dimensional collagen environment. This study suggests that eosinophil growth factors are likely to be required for eosinophil migration within the bronchial mucosa, and this involves signal transduction pathways distinct from those used by G protein-associated chemoattractants.

TL;DR: This report reports the first case of accidental severe hypothermia associated with prolonged cardiac arrest that was successfully managed by venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Abstract: Cardiopulmonary bypass is usually used for rewarming and for providing cardiac support in patients with severe hypothermia and cardiovascular instability. We report the first case of accidental severe hypothermia associated with prolonged cardiac arrest that was successfully managed by venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
